Sometimes this can happen when the plugin author creates a bug in the code, but with this happening in three plugins for you, that’s not likely.
I assume you have tried updating again. Have you made sure that the plugin update is actually happening and isn’t failing?
Can you check the plugin files and see if they are actually the new version numbers, even though the dashboard is showing that they are the old ones? That is, check Connections files to see if you are actually now running v8.2.6, even though your dashboard says 8.2.5.

I’m fairly certain this is not a bug within Connections. The only instance I’ve ever seen this is where a plugin author had updated the version number in the readme.txt file but forgot to update the version in the plugin header. wp.org will use the version in the readme.txt to display on the wp.org plugin page. That version number will also be used to compare to the version number installed on the site which is the version set by the plugin author in the plugin header. If those two number do not match and the version number in the plugin header is less than the version number in the readme.txt you will get stuck in an update loop. You will actually have the updated version but WordPress will continue to say their is an update available.
Hope that makes sense!
Now, all that said, I really do not bielve this is the cause of your issue…
Are you still using the same web host, your friend if I remember correctly?
If you are, I suspect it is the permissions issues I’ve mentioned to you on previous occasions. I’m only guessing here, but, I think when you click update, the plugins are not being updated because WP can not delete the old plugins to install the updated plugins.
Permissions issues would definitely cause this sort of problem.
@ say_hello: have you tried checking the permissions on the plugins directory?
